Wish List: Complete Redo

[smitbret]

Been with Mezzmo for over a decade but the current version's time is up.

Mezzmo is dated, buggy, sluggish and does not work well with large libraries. Plex is superior (although might be a completely different product right now). Emby absolutely destroys Mezzmo at almost everything.

I get that it might not even be worth it for Conceiva from a financial standpoint, but I would love nothing better than to throw down some reasonable $$$ for a shiny, new Mezzmo.

I concur that I would like to see a few updates but that is nowhere close to a do over, as you suggest. I am not going to get into a product vs. product debate but it might be good to know specific new / updated features of interest and how much of that is based upon specific clients and such. I continue to keep an eye on other products with regards to the Kodi client and feel the Mezzmo client is far superior in many ways. Of course I am a bit biased here

A few Mezzmo items on my wish list are a newer version of FFmpeg and SQLite along with looking at whether something can be added to the database to track / timestamp metadata updates for files to allow a query like the more recently updated video files in Mezzmo (regardless of which metadata field). Also maybe adding the keyword field to playlists, like they it is with individual files. I suspect your wish list items are more on the client side.

For performance I am not seeing issues with large size libraries. Mine is close to 30,000 entries including video and music. Close to 100,000 if you include pictures. I don't know if you use Mezzmo compact utility which optimizes the database but database reindexing can help maintain more consistent performance over time. I agree that SQLite databases don't scale as well as some others but with some tuning and putting them on an SSD they can do reasonably well.


Peter,

Does the Mezzmo compact database feature do both a VACUUM and REINDEX in SQlite ?


Thanks,

Jeff

The compact database feature only does VACUUM.

Peter,

Would it make sense to offer a REINDEX option somewhere ? I used an SQLite tool to do it myself.


Thanks,

Jeff
